Xue Tong naturally didn't know that Lu Yao had such thoughts. He just said wonder: "What do you want to do with these many gun tips?"

Lu Yao shook his head, drove the ambition of 100,000 musketeers out of his mind, and replied: "In these days, I have observed that the armies used by the soldiers of the entire army are really diverse. There are as many spears as two to eighty-six, and there are more than ten swords, and the remaining shields, spears, spears, swords, axes and other weapons, all of which are mixed. Although the coordination of multiple types of troops is the way to win, it is not like this! What's more, the key to military governance is to unify the orders and be neat and serious. If the military armor is not intact, how can we talk about the word "neat"?"

Xue Tong listened attentively, Lu Yao pressed the reins and continued, "Old Xue, I have thought about it carefully. From now on, our cavalry will only have three branches: spearmen, swords, shields, and crossbowmen. Among them, spearmen are the most important. I plan to eliminate all the non-compliant ordnances as soon as possible, and train a group of capable spearmen first. Lao Xue, Gao Xiang, and Guo Huan will lead 120 people each."

Xue Tong nodded and said, "You are right. You should have some training while the war breaks at this moment."

Lu Yao turned sideways and looked at Xue Tong with a bright look, "Guo Huan is proficient in gunshot skills and is good at training soldiers. I know his ability, so I plan to make Guo Huan blame him. In addition, Fei Cen and Xu Mu are appointed as the team deputy of Guo Huan and Gao Xiang, and specifically carry out the training of soldiers. Lao Xue, who is more appropriate to take on this responsibility for your subordinates? Or who is worthy of promotion? You might as well recommend it to me."

Xue Tong thought for a while and said, "There is indeed a candidate. Xie Yuan, a native of Ji County, Hanoi, is my old acquaintance. He was originally the leader of the Bingzhou Army. Now he is temporarily appointed as the chief of the subordinates. He is not only brave in combat, but also very good at ordinary affairs. I often have some places to rely on him. What's more coincidental is that Xie Yuan is good at using spears and can take on this task."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "It's so great. Tomorrow I will tell the entire army about Guo Huan's responsibilities and the appointment of three team deputys. Lao Xue, the training of soldiers is very small, so you should worry more for me."

Xue Tong bowed and said, "Don't worry, I should do my best."

The two rode a horse through several streets and talked about trivial matters. Although Xue Tong was rough and generous, she was rough and meticulous, and she was definitely not just a brave man. Suddenly, the inspiration flashed in his mind, and he understood another meaning of Lu Yao's actions.

Lu Yao's original troops were almost completely lost in the previous war. After the establishment of Jicheng, Chen Jin, Gao Xiang, Deng Gang and others who joined the army were either Lu Yao's old friends or his old colleagues. They each had old subordinates and several old friends, and formed small circles in the army, which made it difficult for Lu Yao to lead the army to be as hard as his fingers and be united as his subordinates. This unit was not like the troops led by Lu Yao, but more like the alliance of Bingzhou Army officers. Lu Yao could only control the entire army through those prestigious officers. The day before yesterday, Gao Xiang and Chen Jin and the other openly violated Lu Yao's orders to massacre the people and raped women. In the end, Lu Yao did not punish the two, which is an example.

This time, Lu Yaosha eliminated the excess troops and reorganized the soldiers. This was a dignified way of generals and soldiers, and no one could say anything. He appointed Guo Huan as the general in charge in the name of training spear soldiers. During the training, the hundreds of soldiers who were promoted and promoted, and who were demoted was all in the hands of Guo Huan. Who is Guo Huan? He has followed Lu Yao for many years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was Lu Yao's confidant. Through Guo Huan's hands, Lu Yao was able to grasp these hundreds of people firmly, and no longer have to worry about others.

The appointment of the three team deputy is not simple. Fei Cen and Xu Mu are both former Lu Yao's former subordinates who have joined Guo Huan recently. Any of them serve as Gao Xiang's deputy will weaken Gao Xiang's control over his subordinates. Taking a step back ten thousand steps, if Gao Xiang wants to violate military orders in the future, the team deputy will not be able to pass this level. And the appointment of Xie Yuan can be regarded as Lu Yao's trust in Xue Tong himself, or as an exchange of interests: to promote Xue Tong's subordinates in exchange for Xue Tong's support for the appointment of the other two, so as to suppress Gao Xiang's possible dissatisfaction.

Since Lu Yao returned to Jinyang, he began to rectify the organization. As the captain of his personal soldiers, He Yun actually secretly colluded with others and committed a big taboo, so he was immediately released from the outside world. Chen Jin was an officer but violated military orders. Therefore, although he was still the commander of the cavalry team, the cavalry team was not expanded, and the number was only fifty. Lu Yao's personal soldiers were all cavalry, but they had a total of as many as a hundred.

Most of Chen Jin's cavalry did not participate in the war against the main house of Guo's Fortress. The main ones who acted recklessly that day were Gao Xiang and his subordinates, so they dealt with Gao Xiang the most severely. They explicitly ordered the new team deputy to be in charge of the training of 120 spearmen, and took away two-thirds of the troops in Gao Xiang's hands.

Xue Tong couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. He suddenly stopped his horse and said with a wry smile: "Daoming, you are such a scheming! Good method!"

Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, then leaned over and patted Xue Tong on the shoulder, and said seriously: "A real man is in a chaotic world, only the strong generals under his command are the foundation for his life. The success of success or death or soul loss comes from this, and there is no need to be careless. Lao Xue, I hope you will worry more for me!"

Xue Tong sighed and bowed with a solemn expression: "Don't worry, I should do my best."

Compared to the previous answers when Lu Yao asked Xue Tong to focus on training, the last two sentences of the two of them were exactly the same literally, but the meaning was very different. After hearing Xue Tong's answer, Lu Yao laughed to the sky and was extremely happy; Xue Tong also laughed. The two of them whipped the horse and left.

Lu Yao and Xue Tong returned to the camp with ten bags of gun tips and announced the next day that the matters related to the upcoming military training were about to start.

In fact, every experienced officer knew very well that the peaceful time in front of him would never last long. The Hu people were cruel and had previously watched Yue Shigong occupy Jinyang, but it was because the famine was too serious and could not organize a sufficient scale of military operations. Once the climate warmed up, the Hu people's livestock could get grass and successfully raise lambs, and their army could also pick wild wheat and feed on wild fruits. Under the city of Jinyang, it would immediately become a battlefield for the two armies to compete for balance.

Therefore, although some soldiers who were used to loose life had complaints about Lu Yao's arrangements, in the end every officer rushed to this large-scale training in the early first year of Yongjia.

If you want to be effective in training, first of all, the training routine must be based on actual combat; secondly, the generals must be rewarded and punished strictly and be supported by the army. Both are not a problem for Lu Yao.

Deng Gang was a very good military officer. He led his subordinates to drill into the mountains and forests twice, then collected hundreds of wooden poles needed by Lu Yao, and then carefully processed them and connected the spear head to make a spear that was 12 feet long. The reason why it was not necessary to have a shape of six or eight is mainly because Bingzhou has mostly mountainous land and dense forests; when fighting on complex terrain, too long gun poles are cumbersome.

Although Professor Guo Huan's soldiers' gun technique is not a secret skill, it is most suitable for fighting battles and killing enemies. Just master the basic tricks of stinging and blocking, and after thousands of repeated movements a day, you can be very familiar with it and act accordingly. In addition to the shooting skills practice of the morning exercises every day, the second exercises of the afternoon and evening exercises arranged the skills of the team and cooperated with each other, including the cooperation of two people, three people, one team, one team, one team, and even the complete spearman stacking tactics of three hundred people.

This time, the training requirements were extremely strict and extremely hard. In just three or five days, more than a dozen soldiers were exhausted and sick or injured in intense training. Many soldiers gradually complained, and even had negative confrontation training and soldiers' escape.

This situation was long as Lu Yao expected. He devoted himself to the military camp all day and night. On the one hand, he strictly enforced military laws and defined the iron law of all fugitives. In a few days, he executed six soldiers who were captured and arrested to shock the entire army. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he further strengthened military discipline, made some adjustments to the original military laws, and formed a more concise dozen laws and regulations, requiring each soldier to remember them in his heart. On the other hand, Lu Yao set an example and personally participated in training, and fed and accommodated ordinary soldiers, especially for the sick and injured soldiers.

He went deep into the soldiers, constantly cheered up the soldiers, worked hard to incite the soldiers to hatred for the Hu people, and also spread the happy life after the extermination of the Hu people. In addition, Lu Yao also sent people to hunt wild animals in the mountains and forests outside Jinyang City, and provided the soldiers with a large amount of wild game meals such as deer, yellow sheep, wild boar, rabbit, etc. to replenish their physical strength.

This has always been the case with military governance since ancient times. Establishing goals and visions, organizing like-minded companions, and then following the constraints of military laws and appropriate treatment, we can naturally form a strong group that is united with top and bottom. Such groups, after being rigorously trained and equipped with effective equipment, can immediately become a strong soldier to defeat the attack!

While the training of spearmen was progressing positively, Lu Yao did not forget other troops. Ten days later, Han Blacksmith personally sent several new slings and leather shields, and he began to form the organization of the sword and shield soldiers.

Lu Yao remembered clearly that when he was studying in Luoyang, there was a rampant argument for winning by the spear formation. This view was very bizarre, as if he only needed to build a fully equipped spear soldiers who were not afraid of death, and could defeat the whole world with only a single army.

At first, Lu Yao was also quite confused by this argument. After experiencing countless battles, he realized that it was ridiculous. Without shields, the spear formation would be a dead end to the crossbow; without swords, axes and other short weapons, the spear soldiers fought in the streets and battled in the city, and it would be a complete tragedy when encountering the battle. As for using the spear formation to fight against the cavalry, it was even more funny. How can the spear soldiers change their formations to deal with the cavalry? The cavalry's way of shooting, can the spear soldiers have countermeasures? Unless the enemy general loses his mind and insists on using the light cavalry to attack the spear formation head-on, otherwise a single spear formation will not be able to get a good idea at any time.

The four basic arms of long spear, sword, shield, bow, crossbow, and light cavalry must be comprehensively configured and flexibly used, which is the kingly way of the cold weapon era. Taking the sword, shield, as an example, when the two armies are arranging a formation, it is first an important force to defend against the opponent's arrows; when the formation is changed in battle, it is the main force of the outer cover; for enemy troops that infiltrate or break into the army array, the sword, shield, and soldiers will annihilate them to protect the side and backs of other troops; and when the battle enters the melee stage, the sword, shield, and soldiers can fully exert their melee lethality.

There was an officer in Lu Yao's army who was very good at using swords, and Xue Tong was also responsible for the training of swords and shield soldiers.

After the beginning of spring, the climate was a little warmer, and the soldiers' hard work was eased. Based on the training results, Lu Yao held several meetings to show off his merits and award awards in a timely manner. Although the prizes were just leather armor, short swords, they greatly inspired morale and triggered a sense of competition among the soldiers. The progress of training was getting smoother.
